This elegant evergreen fern forms handsome clumps of long, strap shaped fronds with distinctive undulating edges, adding year round structure to shady garden spots. The glossy, bright green foliage maintains its fresh appearance even in winter, making it invaluable for creating texture in woodland plantings or shaded borders. Thriving in damp, alkaline soils, it's particularly well suited for growing in walls, rockeries or beneath trees where other plants might struggle. Slow growing but long lived, it develops a beautiful architectural form over time. An excellent choice for adding lush greenery to north facing gardens or creating a naturalistic underplanting in shady areas.
